Get RID. Buy the 8 ounce package at the pharmacy. The smaller package is only enough to treat once and it is likely that you'll have to use it more than once or that you may have to offer it to a family member.

Getting rid of lice is hard. You have to treat your house and belongings within the same day. If you are hanging around the same lice infested person or place you will catch it again. Also, you may not get all of the eggs the first time around.

1. Vaccuum the heck out of everything! Dispose of the bag outside.

2. Hot wash and hot dry all of your bedding and pillows.

3. Bag up all of your stuffed animals and any other plushy stuff that won't tolerate a hot wash and hot dry without being ruined. Store them away as airtight as possible for 4 weeks.

4. Spray items that you can't wash, vacuum the crap out of, or quarantine in a bag with RID spray.

5. Treat yourself. Use RID or similar product and pay special attention to combing out the nits. There are natural lice removing products that do a great job of loosening the nits that can be used in conjunction with the poison. This isn't great for you or your hair, so make sure you follow the rest of the steps to minimize the risk of having to re-apply. Combing out nits is really best with help, so if you have a loved one who will "nit-pick" with you, that would be great.

6. Continue to vaccuum the crap out your house for a couple of weeks. If in 10-14 days you are seeing more nits or even possible live lice again.....REPEAT steps 1-6.

It's possible to kick this and you have no reason to cut your hair. The hardest part isn't the hair, it's the cleaning. Write down what day you treated yourself and your house on the calender and stay diligent for the next month. Feel no guilt checking the heads of children who come to visit. You're only doing their parents a favor and may find the source of infestation.

Oh heck tatty....I know that you can definitely buy a once only cure for lice...I don't know the name though.

I have never had lice and they say it's because we black people put oils into our hair. Use more grease to prevent it in future...lol
